Face to Face: A Hymn Bible Study on Seeing Christ
from Heavenly Harmonies Hosted by 3ABN Australia Radio
What does it mean to finally see Jesus "face to face"? This episode is a hymn Bible study unpacking the scripture behind the hymn "Face to Face," and the ancient hope of one day seeing Christ without anything standing between. Written by Carrie E. Breck in 1898, "Face to Face" is built on 1 Corinthians 13:12 — "now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face." We trace this longing all the way back to Genesis, where Adam first opened his eyes to God's face, through Job's confidence in his darkest hour (Job 19:25-27), to the promise in Revelation 22:4 that God's people will finally see His face. The core insight: it isn't distance that separates us from God now, but sin — and Christ's return is the moment that separation ends for good. In this episode, you will hear: Why 1 Corinthians 13:12 is the key verse behind this hymn How Genesis 2:7 hints that Adam once spoke with God face to face Job's declaration of hope in the middle of unimaginable suffering Why Revelation 22:4 is the promise every believer is waiting for Watch all the episodes on our Youtube channel at this link: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL65y7saKkuQ03mbWZ60o_gNG0rRWVBFey
